Upgrade to hibernate 7.2.x

[oscarfanchin]

Hi all, is an upgrade to Hibernate ORM 7.2.x planned?
The 7.1.x series has reached end-of-life with version 7.1.12.Final Hibernate 7.1 EOL.

In the meantime, I am currently testing Spring Data while forcing Hibernate to 7.2.x, so far it seems to work.

There's a related discussion regarding hibernate:7.2 in spring-projects/spring-boot#48518.
Please note that GraalVM reachability metadata for hibernate:7.1 does not cover all requirements to generate a working native image for apps using 7.2 (see also: oracle/graalvm-reachability-metadata#896).

hy @christophstrobl it seems that hibernate 7.2.0.Final will be included as a dependency in boot 4.0.1, which should then also contain spring data 4.0.1, perhaps it is time to make a minor release that contains Hibernate 7.2.0.Final?, from what I could see the test cases all run, there is only one problem on shouldRespectConfiguredJpaEntityGraphWithPaginationAndSpecification in the tests from maven, but the same case runs individually

update, see 4.0.1 milestone

@mp911de what do you think?
